Ryan loves racing in his kart and it is something that has helped him use his feet and his hands with coordination. His racing has given him great confidence and only his very close friends even know that he has a disability.

He is going to compete in some regional races and maybe a national race this year. Ryan is going to put a CHASA logo on his kart to raise some awareness! (we'll try to post photos of his kart with the logo later...)

Hope

When the doctor tells you that your infant or child has survived a stroke or that they may face life with part of their body paralyzed, time seems to come to a screeching stop. Suddenly those dreams that you once held for your child are shattered into a million pieces. On the Pediatric Stroke Hope blog, we'll share stories of hope about our babies and children who are stroke survivors. We'll also share stories about children who have hemiplegia, a paralysis or weakness on one side of their body. These kids are amazing and we hope that their stories will give you new dreams for your child.
